Church Of St Mary

The Church of St Mary, located on St Mary's Road in Royal Leamington Spa, was built between 1838 and 1839 and designed by architect JG Jackson. This Gothic Revival church features a brick structure with mainly stucco facades, a north side with some cement render, sandstone dressings, and a roof made of Welsh slate.

The church has a six-bay, aisled nave that includes a galleried clerestory, a short and narrow chancel, and a two-stage west tower that incorporates a west porch. The west end of the tower is adorned with octagonal buttresses with finials at the corners, and it features a multi-panel, four-centre-arched door set in a hollow-moulded arched surround, decorated with floral motifs in the spandrels and topped with a hoodmould. Above the door is a three-light window with a hoodmould.

The first stage of the tower has a decorative band with fleurons, two-light belfry windows, a clock, and a band with quatrefoil decoration, all topped by battlements. The west end also has diagonal buttresses with finials, two tall, two-light pointed-arched windows with a horizontal traceried band and hoodmould, and a gable with a band featuring fleurons.

Both the nave and aisles are similarly designed with diagonal buttresses at the corners and between the windows, featuring pairs of tall, two-light windows, a decorative band with fleurons, a low parapet, and copings. The chancel has two pairs of small Caernarvon-arched windows and a tall, three-light east window.

Inside, plain pillars support four-centred arches leading to the nave and galleries.
